Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning- The solution for smooth, peach fuzz-free skin

Dermaplaning, or blading, is an exfoliating treatment that provides an alternative to chemical peels or microdermabrasion and is a good choice for anyone who has fine facial hair, extremely sensitive skin, redness or rosacea, or visible facial veins. Our expert medical aestheticians use a blunt-tipped blade to gently & painlessly exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair commonly known as peach fuzz.

A noticeable improvement is immediate with a softer texture, a fresher appearance & when makeup is applied, the look is noticeably smoother. Facial hair returns softly and will not become coarser because of the treatment. Even products penetrate the skin better following this treatment.

Why doesn’t the hair grow back thicker?

Fine facial “peach fuzz” is one of the two types of hair that everyone has. It’s called vellous hair and is the fine translucent hair that you can see if you look closely on a woman’s face, chest and back. The other type of hair is terminal hair, which is the coarser hair you see on the head, under the arms, in the pubic area, brows, and on the lower face in men. Because vellous hair is so fine and different from terminal hair, cutting it does not make it grow in thicker or feel stubbly afterward.

How often is dermaplaning performed?

The normal skin growth cycle is around 30 days and since dermablading removes about 2-3 weeks-worth of dead skin cells, it’s best to wait about 3-4 weeks between treatments.

Can dermaplaning be performed in the same visit as a chemical peel?

Yes, in fact, the Skinspirations aestheticians perform a chemical peel immediately after dermaplaning which allows the peel to penetrate deeper and more evenly. Lactic acid peels will hydrate and further exfoliate sensitive or dry skin while glycolic acid peels are excellent for other skin types.

Are there skin conditions that shouldn't undergo dermaplaning?

Acne-prone skin is the only type that probably shouldn’t be treated with dermaplaning. The oil from the sebaceous glands needs to travel up and connect with the vellous hair in order for it to be excreted. If the hair is removed and the oil builds up, the glands are obstructed and can cause more breakouts.

The fee for a Dermaplaning treatment combined with a chemical peel is $150 per treatment or save 15% with a package of four treatments for $510.

I have been going to Skinspirations for about 10 years. I adore all the folks that work there and trust that they have my best interest at heart.

I have been a patient of Dr. Elliott's for about a year. She is very talented and knowledgeable and operates a very professional office. I used to travel out-of-state for the facial treatments that I've had for years, but now she has eliminated that need, and I am very pleased to be able to have someone close to home. I'm happy that a neighbor recommended her to me, and I hope this review encourages others to visit Skinspirations!read more

Great office and staff - professional, very knowledgeable. They help you make and informed decision as to products and procedures. No pressure or sales driven tactics. They are there to listen to what you want and work with that approach. I wouldn't go anywhere else.read more

I have had Botox and fillers in the past but was never fully satisfied with the results until now. Corrine is absolutely amazing! Her eye for detail and ability to make my marionette lines vanish has me ecstatic. I am so glad I took a co workers recommendation to go see her. Corrine and Skinspirations are definitely where I will continue to go!read more

I had a great experience at Skinspirations last week. Everybody there is wonderful - they don't push you to buy their products and if they think you don't need something done, they let you know. They are right when they say 'they will notice but they will not know'!! My botox given for a brow lift has not worked yet but since I am new, I would rather they gave me less than too much!read more

I have been client of Dr.Elliott from almost the day she opened her practice.

I know I am be sitting in the best seat when she is doing magic on me. I would not change doctors & I highly recommend Dr.Elliott.read more

I LOVE everything about Skinspirations! Dr. Elliott is great! Very nice and easy to talk to. The entire staff is wonderful. They all make you feel comfortable and welcome. Gale is WONDERFUL! I see her once a month for a dermaplaning and the monthly special. I soooo look forward to my monthly appointments. No one pushes products or procedures. It is a very welcoming environment. I was going to a med spa in Tampa previously and Skinspirations far exceeds that spa. I can't say enough about Skinspirations. Try it. You'll love it!read more

I have been going to Skinspirations for 10 years. Dr. Elliott and Gale are just excellent at what they do. Their honesty and advice is truly appreciated. As they say, at my age it takes a village! Thankfully, they are all the village I need for now! They have become my friends and nothing is more comforting than to be in the able hands of friends.read more

I'm not exactly sure how long I have been going to Skinspirations for my monthly facials but it is one of my favorite days. The experience with my esthetician, Gale, is not only peaceful and relaxing but so beneficial. I cannot tell you how many compliments I get on my skin from complete strangers. Being 60 it is a great compliment to Gale for helping me to age gracefully.read more

I just wanted you to know, I have had a lot of facials in my 52 years on this earth and I want you to know that my facial with Melissa was by far the best facial experience ever! I don’t mean to sound “over-the-top”, but it is rare that I get impressed by anyone anymore. Her knowledge of product and her bedside manner puts one at ease and makes one feel that she really cares. A rare trait these days. I’m sure Dr. Elliott already knows that she has a real gem working with her. I'm looking forward to my next facial with Melissa. Thanks again!read more
